Dishwasher Installation STEP 18: PRETEST CHECKLIST Review this list after installing your dishwasher to avoid charges for a service call that is not covered by your warranty. ■ Check to be sure power is OFF. ■ Open door and remove all foam and paper packaging. ■ Locate the Owner's Manual set aside in Step 1. ■ Read the Owner's Manual for operating instructions. ■ Check door opening and closing. If door does not open and close freely, check for proper routing of spring cable over pulley. If door drops or closes when released, adjust spring tension. See Step 2, ■ Check to be sure that wiring is secure under the dishwasher, not pinched or in contact with door springs or other components. See Step 17. ■ Check door alignment with tub. If door hits tub, level dishwasher. See Step 13. ■ Pull lower rack out, about halfway. Check to be sure it does not roll back or forward on the door. If the rack moves, adjust leveling legs. See Step 13. ■ Check door alignment with cabinet. If door hits cabinet, reposition dishwasher. See Step 12. ■ Check that door spring does not contact water line, fill hose, wiring or other components. See Step 12. ■ Verify water supply and drain lines are not kinked or in contact with other components. Contact with motor or dishwasher frame could cause noise. ■ Turn on the sink hot water faucet and verify water temperature. Incoming water temperature must be between 120°F and 140°F. A minimum of 120°F temperature is required for best wash performance. See "Prepare Hot Water Line," page 5. ■ Add 2 quarts of water to the bottom of the dishwasher to lubricate the pump seal. ■ Turn on water supply. Check for leaks. Tighten connections if needed. ■ Remove protective film if present from the control panel and door. STEP 19: DISHWASHER WET TEST ■ Turn on power supply or plug power cord into outlet, if equipped. ■ Select a cycle to run and push the Start/Reset pad. ■ Ensure the door is latched. Dishwasher should start. ■ Check to be sure that water enters the dishwasher. If water does not enter the dishwasher, check to be sure that water and power are turned on. ■ Check for leaks under the dishwasher. If a leak is found, turn off power at the breaker, and then tighten water connections. Restore power after leak is corrected. ■ Check for leaks around the door. A leak around the door could be caused by door rubbing or hitting against adjacent cabinets. Reposition the dishwasher if necessary. See Step 12. ■ Press and hold the Start/Reset pad for 3 seconds to cancel the cycle. The unit will begin to drain. Check drain lines. If leaks are found, turn off power at the breaker and correct plumbing as necessary. Restore power after corrections are made. See Steps 7 and 17. ■ Open dishwasher door and make sure all of the water has drained. If not, check that disposer plug has been removed and/or air gap is not plugged. Also check drain hose to be sure it is not kinked underneath or behind dishwasher. See Step 16. ■ Press Start/Reset pad once again and run dishwasher through another cycle. Check for leaks and correct if required. ■ Repeat this step as necessary. 12
